A lake



Sweet water, tranquil

home of pike and perch

and eager leeches.


Seaweed, growing from decaying ground.

Seductive soft stones caressing soles of small feet

hungry clay that won’t let go.



Musty, gloomy gray

turns into a glittering sky-blue

full of hope.

A budding teenager

hiding mysteries, misery and disaster.



Bright pink water lily

shines through thin bars of reed.

The reed: Adult life grilles

The water lily: the potential

-hidden in everyday life.



The everyday life of a common lake;

Reflect the sun, reflect the moon

Receive and let moulder

Hide it all, store it all.

Always keep up a bright surface.
